1. It doesn't give the details, but I wonder if they have "drug treatment court" in Nevada

We have it here in New York and I'm pretty sure it's in other states. Instead of jail, those with DWIs are given the option of "drug court," a pretty tough program that often starts with rehab, sometimes a halfway house, then continues with mandatory counseling, classes, community service, random drug tests, attendance at meetings, "supportive (supervised) living," and weekly appearances before the presiding judge to assess progress. It's a tough program, but it's certainly a better - and more effective - alternative than jail or prison.
